I was just noticing that the tubing that comes with the LP QEV is much, much smaller than that which come with the LPK.... I know in theory it should work, but has anyone successfully used them together yet??

Well I have it installed, but I am not sure it is working.
It came supposedly all set for the A5 LPK. However, no matter how I positioned it, the hose would crimp and air flow was cut off. So I cut the hose to get it to fit. So it is installed (wrong or right?)
However, I have played the last two games with it, and I have been chopping balls like crazy. So I am not sure of this mod. I have the WAS coming this week, but I may take the QEV off and stick it at 15bps. Too bad PPS just assumed everyone knew how to install it or perhaps they didn't give enough line.
I saw DeluxeS's setup and he looped it, but there was not enough tubing to do that with what they sent.

So does the extra hose help? Or does it matter?
Here is my problem and hopefully you guys can help me out; I know how the QEV works; BUT I do not know how it helps the Cyclone. Can someone explain? Gracias!

I know how the QEV works; BUT I do not know how it helps the Cyclone. There are two phases to the operation of the Cyclone: 1. In phase one, gas pressure actuates the piston, which advances the position of the ratchet. 2. In phase two, the piston returns to its resting position and, in the process, rotates the Cyclone sprocket, which feeds a ball. In order for the piston to return to resting position, the gas supplied in phase 1 must be exhausted back into the marker (and dissipated by leakage). Since the Cyclone feeds during the return phase, a quick exhaust of gas (by the QEV) allows the sprocket to advance more rapidly. Without the QEV, at a high ROF, the piston can't exhaust the gas fast enough, and so the feeder skips. |

OK, that makes sense. Your Karma grows!
Do you think it is possible that the cyclone could advance TOO fast, and therefore chop paint? I ask because I am having paint chop inside the cyclone. So today I will be trying different and fresh paint, no QEV, and then QEV; to see if that affects it.
One last question, does it matter which way the vent is positioned? Currently I have it with the vent facing forward. (grasping at straws).
Thanks again for your answer to the previous question.

The QEV vent should be carerfully positioned so that it faces East five times a day.
Open the bottom of your Cyclone and inspect the "tooth" on the ratchet. That seems a more likely cause of chopping within the feed mechanism.
